Biochar Mortar Performance Data from Multi-Scale Investigation

91.3 MPa compressive strength was achieved by mortar with waste wood biochar pyrolyzed at 500°C, a 44% increase over the control. This dataset likely contains experimental results on the influence of biochar feedstock and pyrolysis temperature on cement mortar properties, authored by Mazen Al-Kheetan and last updated in May 2026. The file is an 88.6 KB Excel spreadsheet.

Use Cases

• Predict mortar compressive strength based on biochar feedstock type and pyrolysis temperature.
• Analyze the relationship between biochar incorporation and pore refinement for durability improvement.
• Compare the effects of cow dung, waste wood, and date seed biochar on flexural strength.
• Model the statistical influence of biochar type versus pyrolysis temperature using eta-squared values.
• Evaluate the cost-effectiveness of biochar produced at moderate temperatures for construction applications.

Strengths

• Includes specific performance metrics like compressive strength (91.3 MPa) and sorptivity (0.107 mm/√min).
• Results are based on a multi-scale investigation using XRD, FTIR, and EDX microstructural characterization.
• Statistical analysis (eta-squared) quantifies the dominant influence of biochar type (η² = 0.33–0.48).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is 88.6 KB, indicating a limited scope likely focused on a specific experimental study.
